I’m pretty sure this subhuman is referring to Rome as “the
ancient west,” as it is typical of their kind to try and claim
the Romans as their own, despite their Turanian ancestors being
Rome’s greatest enemies (also please show me where Romans called
themselves “Westerners”).
But compare Roman technology, such as cement and aqueducts,
which made life easier and simpler for the populace, to western
machinery, such as planes, nuclear power, and plastic, which
have only made life more complex and dangerous for everyone. I
don’t have to fear Roman cement in my drinking water, but I do
have to worry about micro-plastics, chemical fertilisers and
pesticides.

Our enemy Duchesne returns again:

Sure, if you judge by Western standards.
--- Quote ---
> It could be that the most important historical question that
points to a monumental contrast between the West and the Rest is
the following: why did Western civilization produce all the
greatest philosophers in history?
--- End Quote ---
Because Westerners have been the ones judging which philosophers
are the greatest, as Duchesne himself then proceeds to
explicitly tell us (while failing to see any problem with this):
--- Quote ---
> This conviction that philosophy was almost entirely a Western
phenomenon was held by historians of philosophy from every
school of thought until recently. The neo-Kantian Wilhelm
Windelband, believing that philosophy concerns the “independent
and self-conscious work of intelligence which seeks knowledge
methodically for its own sake,” began his two volume classic, A
History of Philosophy, published in 1892, with the ancient
Greeks, without mentioning a single non-Western philosopher.
Windelband believed that “the history of philosophy is the
process in which European humanity has embodies in scientific
conceptions its views of the world and its judgments of life”
(p. 9). The historicist and existentialist Julián Marías, in his
Historia de la Filosofía (1941), which went through countless
editions, and was translated into English, also starts with the
Pre-Socratics and ends with José Ortega y Gasset (1883-1955)
without a word about a non-Western thinker
> ...
> The liberal minded Will Durant, in his popular book, The Story
of Philosophy: The Lives and Opinions of the Greater
Philosophers (1926), profiles only Western philosophers. In a
“Preface to the Second Edition”, written in 1962, we see the
first inklings of multiculturalism, however, as Durant faults
his book for leaving out “Chinese and Hindu philosophy”, even
though he adds that Chinese philosophers were “averse to
epistemology” or to inquiries into the nature of knowledge and
how it is acquired. The analytical-empiricist philosopher
Bertrand Russell, in his widely known book, History of Western
Philosophy (1945), which was cited as one of the books that won
him the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1950, took it for granted
that the history of philosophy should be about Western
philosophers. Philosophy began with the Pre-Socratics because it
is only then that we see speculations on the nature of things
with “appeals to human reason rather than to authority, whether
that of tradition or that of revelation”. Russell offered a
chapter on “Mohammedan Culture and Philosophy” only to the
extent that Muslims wrote commentaries on Aristotle. The
Catholic philosopher, Frederick Copleston, in his magisterial
work, A History of Philosophy, published in nine volumes between
1946 and 1975, began with Greece and stayed in Europe, including
a volume on Russian philosophy, right to the end.
>
> This Western-centric attitude was unquestioned until recent
times. It was the typical perspective of texts for university
students. Konstantin Kolenda’s Philosophy’s Journey: A
Historical Introduction (1974) says that it was the ancient
Greeks who “were able to think through to new, unorthodox
questions.” “Mythical accounts about gods and about the world…do
not necessarily concern themselves with the question of truth.
Myth is something that is told and need not call for critical
scrutiny, examination, justification. The idea of possibly
discovering the true nature of reality behind the multiplicity
of appearances and behind conflicting opinions is a most
original and revolutionary idea in the intellectual history of
man” (p. 5). It is not only that the ancient Greeks posed
critical questions — “Is there some substance or some basic
stuff out of which everything is made?” – but that their answers
consisted of “reasoned” arguments. Not a single Eastern
philosopher is included in Kolenda’s book.
>
> In 1991, Norman Melchert published The Great Conversation: A
Historical Introduction to Philosophy, in which he tells
students that the value of philosophy is that it teaches you “to
believe for good reasons”. Opinions are as good as the reasons
behind them. “That’s what philosophy is”: teaching students how
to think “clearly and rationally”. Every philosopher in
Melchert’s “great conversation” is Western.

> The Great Philosophers, a 1987 BBC television series presented
by Bryan Magee, which was made available in a book of the same
name, only discusses Western philosophers in its 15 episodes,

Ludwig Wittgenstein.

See? Duchesne, however, does not see; instead, he genuinely
thinks the above is evidence supporting his claim:
--- Quote ---
> This is a remarkable statistical fact. It needs to be
emphasized this is not a comparison of the West against three or
two other civilizations, but a competition of the West versus
the Rest. Aside from the Muslim, Chinese, and perhaps the Indian
world, no other culture in the world, not the Mayas, not the
Aztecs, not the Khmer Rouge Cambodians, not the Tibetans, not
the Aksum civilization, not the Egyptians, not the Assyrians,
not the Bantus, not the Babylonians, not the Japanese, not the
Koreans, NO other culture in the world, produced any great
philosopher. Let it be repeated: this is not a list based on
arbitrary, idiosyncratic, purely personal, or politicized
assumptions. It is based on solid, widely recognized histories
of philosophies.
--- End Quote ---

>
> If we add Jews to the European list, insofar as they were all
educated in Europe, then the Western score is 90 = 90%.
--- End Quote ---
I agree with adding Jews to the "European" list, of course.
--- Quote ---
> The fact that Indian philosophy can’t be divorced from India’s
major religious traditions, or was never conceived as a separate
intellectual pursuit, explains why I could not include Indian
philosophers
> ...
> Sue Hamilton, an expert in Indian philosophy, acknowledges
that “what Westerners call religion and philosophy are combined
in India, and that its philosophies are correctly referred to as
soteriologies, or ‘system of salvation’”. The Indian
philosophical tradition holds that “understanding reality has a
profound effect on one’s destiny”. The attempt “to understand
the nature of reality” is a “spiritual undertaking, an activity
associated with a religious tradition”. The aim of Indian
philosophy was to escape from consciousness, to obliterate the
thinking self; and every philosopher, or every philosophical
outlook, Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism, and Sikhism, were
preoccupied with the notion of reincarnation, the process of
birth and rebirth, the transmigration of souls and the “release”
of the soul from that process.
--- End Quote ---
So systems of salvation are excluded(!) from what Westerners
consider to be philosophy? That surely says more about Western
values than about the quality of Indian philosophers!
--- Quote ---
> Nevertheless, Sue Hamilton, as is generally the case with
Westerners who study Eastern thought, misleads readers with her
view that Western philosophy “tends to be concerned with
detailed and technical questions about kinds of logic and
linguistic analysis” – whereas Indian philosophy is a “spiritual
undertaking” about “big metaphysical questions” concerning the
meaning of life and how to live one’s life in order to have an
effect on one’s destiny.
--- End Quote ---
I would put it even more strongly than Hamilton does. Western
philosophy views language as fundamentally empowering, as
opposed to viewing language as fundamentally restrictive (and
only something we are forced to use for communication due to
decay of empathy (itself partially caused by reliance on
language)). This is also why Western philosophers tend to be
more anthropocentric: in worshipping language, it trivially
follows that Western philosophers have a higher opinion of
language-users (ie. humans) compared to non-language-users (ie.
non-humans). (As I have pointed out in the past, reincarnation
was a mainstream belief of ancient Greeks, yet amazingly (to
non-Western eyes) the idea that humans could reincarnate as
non-humans and vice versa (the most trivially obvious thing in
non-Western imagination) did not occur as a possibility to them:
that is how ludicrously anthropocentric they are!) Similarly,
Western philosophers tend to be dismissive of Original Nobility,
because, as language-worshippers, they find it hard to accept
the superiority of a pre-linguistic human (ie. infant):

Continuing:
--- Quote ---
> The fact is that Chinese philosophers were accustomed to
express themselves in the form of aphorisms, apothegms, or
allusions, and illustrations. The whole book of Lao-tzu consists
of aphorisms, and most of the chapters of the Chuang-tzu are
full of allusions and illustrations. This is very obvious. But
even in writings such as those of Mencius and Hsun Tzu, when
compared with the philosophical writings of the West, there are
still too many aphorisms, allusions, and illustrations.
--- End Quote ---
Why do you think this was the case FFS? Answer: they were at
least trying to partially overcome the limitations of language
by not using language to crudely approximate an idea, but using
language merely to describe a scenario that hopefully will cause
the idea to independently arise in the listener's/reader's mind!
--- Quote ---
> it was Aristotle who did the most in ancient times to
delineate what constitutes a proper philosophical statement
about what there is and what constitutes a valid form of
reasoning about why something is so. He invented formal logic, a
precise language about reality, about what things can be said to
be substances and the reasons why they are as they are. He
showed that true philosophical statements are composed of basic
categories — substance, quantity, quality, relationship, place,
time — which express the various ways in which being is, and
that these statements can be formulated to be subject-predicate
statements. This is just a little particle of what this
incredible philosopher did.

suggest that one could reach a logically unacceptable conclusion
on the basis of sound reasoning from apparently sound premises.
They wondered whether these paradoxes revealed deficiencies in
the way we reason, calling for improvements in our reasoning
powers, a better system of logic and a more precise usage of
language.
--- End Quote ---
But did they ever suspect that reliance on language itself might
be the problem? No, because the Western approach to problems
caused by language is always more language, never an attempt to
discard language.
--- Quote ---
> the Western mind was able to develop methodologies to
understand texts from different eras and different cultures,
because this is the only culture that learned how to draw
ontological distinctions between mind and matter, individual and
society, the three parts of the soul, and so on, in the course
of which this mind eventually developed particular
sciences—physics, chemistry, biology, botany, sociology,
economics, etc.—to explain different aspects of reality, and
newly emerging properties, while also realizing that the concept
of “man in general” is limited by historically determinate
factors. The prior ability of ancient Greek philosophers to
discover the distinctiveness of the faculty of the mind, the
distinction between physis (nature) and nomos (law or custom)
nurtured a transcendental outlook that allowed Western thinker
to stand aback from their context and view other cultural
contexts in their own terms. Therefore, it is not enough to say
that all knowledge is historically situated, the expression of a
particular people. If all knowledge is contextual, then all
knowledge claims are equally valid. We have to ask why the West
developed all the theories about how knowledge is context-bound,
and why the West produced all the modern sciences.

sixteenth printing in 1971, which I am using, and numerous new
editions thereafter, is an encyclopedic treatment of the history
of art, with millions of copies sold in fifteen languages.
Janson came from a Lutheran family of Baltic German stock. His
criterion for choice of great art is “ORIGINALITY.” “Uniqueness,
novelty, freshness” are the “yardstick of artistic greatness.”
> ...
> This criterion underpins Janson’s magisterial book. This book
has three opening chapters on “The Art of Prehistoric Man,”
“Egyptian Art,” and “The Ancient Near East.” The rest of the
book, with the exception of a short chapter on “Islamic Art” and
a short “Postscript” with the title “The Meeting of East and
West,” is entirely about Western art. These traditions really
interest him insofar as they “contributed to the growth of the
Western artistic tradition” (p. 569). He ignored China, Japan,
and India until the end because they were not a “vital source of
inspiration for Western art” except in contemporary times. New
styles of art, new techniques and schools, was a uniquely
Western phenomenon.

> Arnold Hauser (1892-1978) was a Hungarian Marxist with Jewish
ancestry, an admirer of bourgeois norms and sensibilities,
writing at a time when students were educated without diversity
and equity mandates. The Social History of Art, first published
in 1951, the product of thirty years of labor, opens with eight
short chapters on prehistoric, Egyptian, and Mesopotamian art,
covering less than fifty pages in a four-volume book that is
close to 1000 pages long. This rightfully valued book argues
that art became more realistic and naturalistic as Europe became
less aristocratic and hierarchical, more bourgeois, urbane and
cosmopolitan. A “naturalistic style” actually prevailed through
to the end of the Paleolithic Age in the way animals were
depicted in a realistic way, although the art was concerned as
well with the performance of magical rituals. This naturalistic
attitude, which was “open to the full range of experience,” gave
way in the Neolithic Age to a “narrowly geometric stylization”
in which the “artist tended to shut himself off from the wealth
of empirical reality.”

calligraphic forms tend to take the place of conventions
established for the representation of rocks, trees, etc. The
painter of the Southern School was interested in distant
effects, but his colleague of the Northern School paid more
attention to the devices of composition which achieve the
illusion of recession, and at the same time more attentive to
close realism of detail. ... some artists hover between the
two".[3] A more philosophical distinction is that the Southern

the parent.” (p. 206) This is true, Hamilton showed, “even if
‘right next door’ is (at present) the best place in the world
and ‘a long way away’ is on average worse.” That idea is only
one of what Dawkins rightly calls Hamilton’s “brilliant
contributions to Darwinian theory,” but it sheds light on the
central theme of the book: flight in all its forms. Flights of
Fancy is about the conquest of the air, whether accomplished by
birds, bats, bees or Blanchard’s balloons. Jean-Pierre Blanchard
(1753–1806) was a pioneering French inventor who made the “first
balloon crossing of the English Channel” in 1785. En route, he
and his American companion “were obliged to jettison everything
in their beautiful boat-shaped car, including even their own

Dawkins and the pictures of Jana Lenzová. That’s why I enjoyed
the book so much. And I couldn’t help contrasting Flights of
Fancy with another book that has recently made a strong
impression on me. The other book is very different in content
and style.

> Black British Lives Matter is full of similar proclamations of
Black suffering and White villainy. It’s a self-righteous and
self-obsessed book. That’s part of why it’s also an ugly book.
Another part of its ugliness is the poor quality of its prose
and its reasoning. That’s why I found it such a contrast with
Flights of Fancy, which is a beautiful book, well-written,
well-reasoned, and well-illustrated, and most certainly not
self-obsessed. As I noted above, Whites like Richard Dawkins are
interested in birds, bats, bees, balloons and lots of other
things starting with “B.” Blacks, by contrast, are interested in
only one thing starting with “B,” namely, Blacks. In other
words, Whites are exotropic, directed towards what’s outside
themselves. Blacks are endotropic, directed towards themselves
and their own concerns. That’s why Whites have been inventors,
innovators and explorers of the Universe. And why Blacks have
been none of those things.

And Hitler, muslims, and other people of "non-white" communities
are same like "blacks", they have been none of those things but
being victim of "Whites"'s material inventions and universal
explorations.
What are Hitler invention to this world? Only destroying the
entire Europe and Western Civilization, but that's a good thing.
We the victim of Western Civilization Barbarism never regret to
praise Hitler.
Sometime destroying things is a good thing you know.
Islamic Khulafaur Rashidun and Ottoman Caliphate also not
inventing anything but destroying anything in Europe, the land
and people whom considered by the world of the "sources of
invention and modernity", but to us the victim of colonialism
that's an achievement, not a barbarism. We suffering,
complaining, and try to seek revenge because you the Europeans
not want to care to our plea. The only solution today is total
eradication of Western Civilization and it's creatures. I'm even
hesitate to consider them as "human"

as no surprise considering homo hubris is the type of human that
jewish/western civilizations produce
